🎙️ Episode 59: The Architect of African Brands | Kanyi Ohawa
How do you build a global brand with a local soul? 🇰🇪✨
In Episode 59 of the AfriCAN Do! Podcast, we go behind the scenes with Kanyi Ohawa, a visionary powerhouse transforming Kenya’s design ecosystem. Kanyi is the Founder and CEO of All and Sundry Ltd, a Nairobi-based agency renowned for bespoke branding and creative solutions that marry "Kenyan flavor" with a "global feel."
But her impact goes beyond her agency walls. As a sought-after On-Demand/Fractional Creative Director, Kanyi serves as a strategic partner for MSMEs and growing organizations. She bridges the gap between high-level brand strategy and execution, providing SMEs with the executive-level creative leadership they need to scale in ultra-competitive markets.
💡 In this episode, we explore: - The Fractional Advantage: Why SMEs are turning to on-demand creative directors to build sustainable brand frameworks.
- All and Sundry’s Legacy: How Kanyi’s 20+ years as a fine artist and entrepreneur built a "one-stop shop" for graphic design and branding.
- The African Creative Economy: Scaling systemic mentorship and wellness advocacy for the next generation of creatives.
- Authentic Branding: Moving from a "retail experience" to a "creative experience" to build lasting connections with target markets.
